Cats and dogs are often portrayed as mortal enemies, aren’t they? May it be in books, TV shows, movies, and many more.

There is this notion that they naturally hate each other and that cats and dogs getting along is quite a task for their owners.

This speaks volumes when either one is to be introduced to the other as a new furry member of the family.

It’s not always an instant click in terms of relationship. However, it’s never impossible to have these two different creatures under one roof, and this beautiful story will prove it.

But first, let’s try to know if cats and dogs naturally hate each other. Is this true or just a myth?

Let’s not forget that cats and dogs are, obviously, two different creatures. So, it’s needless to say they have behavioral differences.

Cats and dogs act differently because they have basic distinctions. Dogs, who come from wolves, have a natural urge to hunt and live in groups.

Cats also have a strong instinct to chase prey, but they prefer being alone like their ancestors.

Both can be friends with people, but cats usually need more time to feel comfortable and trust humans compared to dogs.

But haven’t we seen viral videos and beautiful stories of friendship featuring cats and dogs?

According to Paw Maw:

“The simple fact is, cats and dogs don’t hate each other. Cats and dogs have different personalities and they go about their daily lives in different ways. The skirmishes between a cat and dog people witness often come as a result of miscommunication and behavioral differences. So, if you’re asking why do cats and dogs hate each other, here are some facts that could help you better understand.”

Love at first sight.
